| Note of warning: |

| |
| U-boot has a *strong* dependency with the l-loader and the arm trusted firmware |
| repositories. |
| |
| The boot sequence is: |
| l-loader --> arm_trusted_firmware --> u-boot |
| |
| U-Boot needs to be aware of the BL31 runtime location and size to avoid writing |
| over it. Currently, BL31 is being placed below the kernel text offset (check |
| poplar.c) but this could change in the future. |
| |
| The current version of u-boot has been tested with: |

| l-loader: use external memory region definitions |
| |
| The ARM Trusted Firmware code now has a header file that collects |
| all the definitions for the memory regions used for its boot stages. |
| Include that file where needed, and use the definitions found therein |

| |
| poplar: define memory regions in a separate file |
| |
| Separate the definitions for memory regions used for the BL stage |
| images and FIP into a new file. The "l-loader" image uses knowledge |
| of the sizes and locations of these memory regions, and it can now |
| include this (external) header to get these definitions, rather than |
| having to make coordinated changes to both code bases. |
| |
| The new file has a complete set of definitions (more than may be |
| required by one or the other user). It also includes a summary of |
| how the boot process works, and how it uses these regions. |
| |
| It should now be relatively easy to adjust the sizes and locations |
| of these memory regions, or to add to them (e.g. for TEE). |

| Compile from source: |
| ==================== |
| |
| Get all the sources |
| |
| > mkdir -p ~/poplar/src ~/poplar/bin |
| > cd ~/poplar/src |
| > git clone https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-l-loader.git l-loader |
| > git clone https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-arm-trusted-firmware.git atf |
| > git clone https://github.com/Linaro/poplar-u-boot.git u-boot |
| |
| Make sure you are using the correct branch on each one of these repositories. |
| The definition of "correct" might change over time (at this moment in time this |
| would be the "latest" branch). |
| |
| Compile U-Boot: |
| =============== |
| |
| Prerequisite: |
| # sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler |
| |
| > cd ~/poplar/src/u-boot |
| > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- poplar_defconfig |
| > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- |
| > cp u-boot.bin ~/poplar/bin |
| |
| Compile ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF): |
| =================================== |
| |
| > cd ~/poplar/src/atf |
| > make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- all fip \ |
| SPD=none BL33=~/poplar/bin/u-boot.bin DEBUG=1 PLAT=poplar |
| |
| Copy resulting binaries |
| > cp build/hi3798cv200/debug/bl1.bin ~/poplar/src/l-loader/atf/ |
| > cp build/hi3798cv200/debug/fip.bin ~/poplar/src/l-loader/atf/ |
| |
| Compile l-loader: |
| ================= |
| |
| > cd ~/poplar/src/l-loader |
| > make clean |
| > make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- |
| |
| Due to BootROM requiremets, rename l-loader.bin to fastboot.bin: |
| > cp l-loader.bin ~/poplar/bin/fastboot.bin |
| |
| |

| FLASH INSTRUCTIONS |
| ================================================================================ |
| |
| Two methods: |
| |
| Using USB debrick support: |
| Copy fastboot.bin to a FAT partition on the USB drive and reboot the |
| poplar board while pressing S3(usb_boot). |
| |
| The system will execute the new u-boot and boot into a shell which you |
| can then use to write to eMMC. |
| |
| Using U-BOOT from shell: |
| 1) using AXIS usb ethernet dongle and tftp |
| 2) using FAT formated USB drive |
| |
| |
| 1. TFTP (USB ethernet dongle) |
| ============================= |
| |
| Plug a USB AXIS ethernet dongle on any of the USB2 ports on the Poplar board. |
| Copy fastboot.bin to your tftp server. |
| In u-boot make sure your network is properly setup. |
| |
| Then |
| |
| => tftp 0x30000000 fastboot.bin |
| starting USB... |

| |
| MMC write: dev # 0, block # 0, count 1920 ... 1920 blocks written: OK |
| => reset |
| |
| |
| 2. USING USB FAT DRIVE |
| ======================= |
| |
| Copy fastboot.bin to any partition on a FAT32 formated usb flash drive. |
| Enter the uboot prompt |
| |
| => fatls usb 0:2 |
| 983040 fastboot.bin |
| |
| 1 file(s), 0 dir(s) |
| |
| => fatload usb 0:2 0x30000000 fastboot.bin |
